...fear of litigation, or losing their practice because of skyrocketing insurance costs. Palmeri then observed the civil trial of a Wilson, N.C., obstetrician who was sued after the plaintiff's baby suffered neurological damage during birth.

While most of the away games Harvard varsity teams play can be reached by a maximum six-hour trip down I-95, that’s still plenty of time for the Crimson’s enterprising scribes to get in trouble. And while there’s nothing I enjoy more than a Harvard game at the Stadium or Lavietes Pavilion, sometimes the best memories are made on the road. Let me take you inside...
